This looks a very interesting article. I will start a review shortly. simongraham (talk) 23:05, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Criteria edit

The six good article criteria:

  • Well written
the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout etc.
  • Verifiable
it contains a list of all references, presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
all inline citations are from reliable sources;
it contains no original research; and
it contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism.
  • Broad in its coverage
it addresses the main aspects of the topic; and
it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail.
  • Neutral
it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to different points of view.
  • Stable
it does not change significantly from day to day because of any ongoing edit war or content dispute.
  • Illustrated
images are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content; and
images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.

Review edit

This is a well-written article with 95.4% written by a single user (HistoryofIran). The article is stable, broad in coverage and structured with clear paragraphs and subsections.

  • Text in the last paragraph is identical to text in Kayumarth I. One is a copy or there is a remarkable coincidence. Please correct.
Sorry, but is that really important? Its written by me anyways. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:52, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
As long as you, the author of the first instance, think it is OK, I am happy to agree. simongraham (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • The image of Timur is marked as superseded by a PNG file.
Yes, but that image is more blurry/worse quality. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:28, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
OK. Seems a good reason to keep the old one. simongraham (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • The map is taken from a 2007 book. Please confirm the copyright status for the image.
Sorry, I don't understand. The basemap is from DEMIS and is public domain. I just edited it. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:25, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
My misunderstanding. That is OK. simongraham (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Is Amul related to Amol? If so, please link.
It is already linked. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:25, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I was unclear. I mean the mention in "Chalabis or Chalavis, after a district in Amul". Is this something different? simongraham (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Not sure I understand. You mean the Amul mentioned in that sentence? No, that's the same Amul as the others. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:28, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • "latters family" should be "latter's family". This sentence is complex and could do with rewording to make it easier to read.
Reworded, thoughts? --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:25, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • It is unclear who "he" is in "He was well-received by the Baduspanid ruler". Consider rewording.
Done, whatdya think? --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:17, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Is there a reason for the brackets around fatwa? I feel that they are unnecessary and break the flow.
Ops, removed the brackets. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:26, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Based on the dates earlier in the article, "murdered Hasan I on 17 April 1349" should be Hasan II.
Fixed. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:27, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Is there an article on Ghiyath al-Din II? If so, there should be a link. If not, consider red linking.
There's not, and done. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:17, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • The Yavari reference has no page numbers. I suggest finding the reference in the printed volume if possible as this would be consistent with the other references.
There were no page numbers in the source, just text. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:25, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
@HistoryofIran: Please ping me when you have made the changes. simongraham (talk) 01:31, 11 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
